Prince Harry Makes Low-Key Solo Appearance at Montecito Polo Match

The visit underscores Harry's close personal ties to Argentine player Nacho Figueras.

Overview

  • Prince Harry attended a polo match in Montecito on his own to watch Nacho Figueras's son, Artemio, compete.
  • He kept a relaxed look in charcoal shorts, a black polo shirt with the number three, a baseball cap and sunglasses and sat barefoot on the grass.
  • Artemio's team lost the match but he received a prize for having the best polo pony.
  • Nacho Figueras has publicly defended and supported the Sussexes, attended their wedding and has given proceeds from a perfume line to Harry's charity Sentebale.
  • Coverage focused on friendship and private life rather than official royal business, a tone that reinforces the Sussexes' informal public image in Montecito.
